Clock

Like others have stated, the November 22 update has broken the ability to swipe the screen to dismiss or snooze an alarm. Now I have to wake up the phone, punch in my PIN, click on the clock on my home screen, find the alarm that is going off, and turn it off from within the Clock app. The alarm no longer wakes up the screen. I have tried setting the volume buttons to turn off the alarm, but that does not work either. Very disappointing for what has been up until now a very simple, effective app that simply worked properly. Prior to this latest update I would have rated it 5 stars.

The app occasionally decides to lower the alarm volume which causes me to not hear the alarm. This isn't the first time this happened. This was also happening 2 years ago. I also reported that bug back then, but google has apparently done nothing. The UI also lags sometimes. I tap something, but something happens only after a few seconds. I will never ever use this horrible app again and I suggest you to switch too, you surely don't want to miss your alarms and be late to something important?

I miss the clock app where you could set the 4 square of numbers/letters that you would have to punch correctly in order to turn off your alarm. It's so simple now to turn the alarm off without realizing it. I don't understand why you can't edit timers either. I have about 20 timers because if I want one for a specific time I have to create a new one.

It works well overall, but when it wakes me up, I wish "hitting the snooze" was easier. I'm usually too groggy to have the eye-hand coordination necessary to do the snooze slide. I realize I can set the volume button for snooze, but I am normally too much in a daze to remember that. It's important to realize we're not totally awake and ready for peak smartphone use when it goes off.

Some time has passed. I have been very patient, but the alarm clock goes from bad to worse with each update. Now it does not even pop up at the times it is set to go off. It rings, but hides! How extraordinary. What an absolutely useless app! 1star for the alarm clock. Everywhere else on my phone touchscreen works absolutely faultlessly but when it comes to the alarm clock touchscreen is completely dead. It neither snoozes not switches the alarm off.
